Karnickel

Product information "Karnickel"

Angora fiber is delicate, light and warm at the same time – wonderful for a beautiful handknit shawl! The yarn I used is from Seidenhase in Germany: Claire keeps her beloved Angora rabbits in spacious stables and carefully shears them several times a year  – much like sheep. On her website seidenhase.de Claire has put up pictures of the lovely bunnies before and after the shearing. So cute! For this shawl, I have combined an undyed light gray with a slightly variegated hand-dyed pink from Claire’s dyeing studio. Only 100 g of yarn make a shawl of generous dimensions that is an easy but interesting knit. “Karnickel” is the northern German colloquial pet name for rabbits, just like “Bunny”.

Rosida

Rosida is the name of this pretty shawl: just a little lace, a lot of knit stitches and a fun construction make it so special! You will start at one corner with only two stitches and work longer and longer rows into a triangle. In the middle, there will be enough lace to keep you on your feet, but it’s quickly done and easy, even for lace novices. You continue seamlessly into the next part and before you know it, your shawl is completed! Made out of a super soft organic yarn in the special colorway “Fuchsia” (which belong to a plant family named Rosids), it will soon be your favorite to wear with any outfit.

Hortensien
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
Hydrangeas (German: Hortensien) are little wonders of color: In summer, they blossom white, pink or baby blue, but their true beauty shows in fall, when the petals assume dark purple, blue and grayish tones that look just fascinating. This color play was the inspiration for our club color, and this design: Starting with two identical triangles in garter stitch, you will later connect them via a pretty lace panel, resulting in a special shape that is a delight to wear. The pattern for the lace insert is provided as written-out instructions and as a chart. Find the beautiful "Vivacious 4-ply" by Fyberspates that we used for the sample here in Strickmich! Shop.

Traumstrand
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
When I saw the beautiful color combination that our dyer Maike suggested for the first Strickmich! Club shipment of 2019, it immediately made me think of shimmering waters, surrounded by bright green palm trees on a sandy and sunny beach – a “Traumstrand” (German: dream beach) indeed! So my design became a relaxing, beautiful ocean of garter stitch in a vibrant teal combined with a simple and classic lace pattern reminiscent of the structure of palm leaves in spring green. The result is a fairly symmetric shawl in a new shape with two tips that will have you dream of days at the beach every time you wear it!

Brickless
Formate: PDF Download | Language: Deutsch
“Brickless” was designed for the Miss Babs 2012 Knitting Tour, and was exclusive to the members of the Tour for six months. Berlin in Winter is colder than most other big German cities – when travelling there, a big, cozy shawlette like this will come in handy! The beautiful colors are reminiscent of bright city lights in dark winter nights. The shape of the shawlette is an asymmetrical, long triangle, formed by rows that are getting longer and longer as you go. They are worked in different simple, but very effective patterns that make them look a little like a skyline of tall houses. These skyscrapers are not built with bricks, but concrete and steel – hence the name, „Brickless“. And also: No more bricks in the wall that used to divide Berlin.The pattern "Brickless" is part of Martina Behm´s book "The Hitchhiker Collection".
